What do you feel would be the result of a UK-UC matchup in the first or 2nd round of the NCAA?

UK by around 7-10...

Do you think the RPI is a good way to tell which team is better than the other at this point in the season?

I'm not a big fan of the RPI...

Is it even relevant nowadays?

GT, I think we have found something we can both agree on, regarding the RPI.

It is a moot point and I rarely even am concerned with it. I may put some stock into it late in the year, but not at this point.

Too many other variables come into play...a few years ago you could draw a line with the RPI, now it is not so certain.

I put much more stock into Ken Pomeroy's site. The upgrades he has made to it are phenomenal.

The only practical use it serves is giving the committee a look at your resume...

I can't believe UK's stength of schedule is that bad. UK has played UNC, UL, WV, Miami, and Kansas St. I guess some of the cupcakes were really bad cupcakes.

I guess the SEC is so weak that it drags the schedule down...

[pigman]

^ I think part of that has to do with the SEC being down this year. We used to get a little bump from conference play. Beat me to it.

I've always preferred Sagarin to RPI ...

 

Sagarin has Kentucky 35th and Cincinnati at #50.

 

Cincinnati's SOS is 65th, while Kentucky's is #151.

I'll be shocked if we're there but I'll agree with GT and say UK by about 10.
